There is no way to draw districts in OK that would result in anyone but Republicans winning elections there. It is a shitty state full of the kind of shitty people who are categorically opposed to extending kindness to anyone outside their immediate social circle.
I appreciate the articles. For anyone in the U.S. that has never been to a lot of the gerrymander states, please visit some of them.
It will not only be an eye opening experience but a lesson on why the left is not far enough.
Legal slavery, open abuse, massive gaslighting, and no way out. States that have power to change need to do a lot more. Instead we get the pelosi, schumer, and feinstein (yeah I’m talking about you, pos). Any time we get someone that wants to be a centrist or libertarian, it is equal to voting for a MAGA type.
Gerrymandering is entirely irrelevant for presidential elections, since the state’s votes get added up at the end anyway. To gerrymander for presidential elections you’d need to be redrawing state borders.
I was curious, as I know left, democratic, progressive people who live in OK. Here are some links related to gerrymandering in OK

tl;dr - OK is gerrymandered AF. As the low effort / informationally sparse post above clearly demonstrates.
County boundaries aren’t all that relevant to gerrymandering. They’ve been set basically since Oklahoma was a state, probably before that even.

I’m going to say this as someone who also does not, clearly you’ve never been to church!
OK being gerrymandered is true, but this is a county map, not precincts. OK isnt redrawing county lines to gerrymander
